AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS CONFERENCE Bishop Elliott completes 11 years as a ‘happy bishop’ Media Release November 3, 2018 Bishop Peter Elliott says he kept Mother Teresa’s exhortation to new bishops – that they be “happy bishops” – front of mind and in his heart during his 11 years of episcopal ministry in Melbourne Archdiocese. Pope Francis today announced that he has accepted Bishop Elliott’s resignation, which he submitted recently upon reaching the retirement age of 75. Bishop Elliott had been appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Melbourne in 2007. Reflecting on the intervening years, Bishop Elliott said he took particular joy when administering the sacrament of Confirmation. “Confirmations were an important part of my ministry as a regional bishop,” he said. “They provided a great opportunity to catechise and to evangelise the candidates for Confirmation, and particularly their families.” Bishop Elliott said he also enjoyed many of his various roles as part of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, including as a member of the Catholic Disability Council; working with former Anglicans who joined the Catholic Church in the Personal Ordinariate set up by Pope Benedict XVI; and in liturgy, a great interest of his, and an area he plans to continue exploring through study and writing. Melbourne Archbishop Peter A. Comensoli said Bishop Elliott “has been a wonderful Minister of the Gospel in the Archdiocese of Melbourne over many decades”. “At this initial moment, I simply want to sincerely acknowledge Bishop Elliott’s faithful and conscientious service across the Archdiocese in many ways,” he said. “His warmth of personality, his care for priests and his commitment to the intellectual and liturgical life of the Church are renowned.” Archbishop Comensoli paid special tribute to Bishop Elliott’s work as director of the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family and as editor of important religious education texts, saying “he has helped to shape Catholic thinking on many critical issues”. “Bishop Elliott has been a wise counsel for me in my short time as Archbishop, and I thank him for all he has given to God’s people in the Archdiocese and beyond,” he said. Archbishop Mark Coleridge, president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, said Bishop Elliott’s “many gifts have seen him contribute significantly to the work of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference”. Archbishop Coleridge commended Bishop Elliott’s writing and speaking, especially in the liturgical field, and in his years of service to the Holy See in Rome. “As he lays down the burden of responsibility, we thank Bishop Elliott for all he has given and we look forward to his new contributions as he enters this next phase of his life.” Media contact: Gavin Abraham • 0408 825 788 • [email protected] .

Edward Irving

Edward Irving: Romantic Theology in Crisis Peter Elliott Edward Irving: Romantic theology in crisis Peter Elliott BA, BD, MTh(Hons.) This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology of Murdoch University 2010 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………… Peter Elliott Abstract In 1822 a young Church of Scotland minister named Edward Irving accepted a post in London and quickly attracted wide upper-class support. He numbered amongst his friends and admirers the political historian Thomas Carlyle and the Romantic poet-philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge. During the next decade, Irving developed views and practices that could be described as millenarian and proto- pentecostal; his interest in prophecy grew and his Christology became unorthodox. He was ejected from his church and hundreds followed him to begin a new group. Within a short period of time, he was relegated to a subordinate position within this group, which later became the Catholic Apostolic Church. He died in 1834 at the age of 42. This paper examines Irving’s underlying Romanticism and the influences on him, including his complex relationships with Carlyle and Coleridge, and then demonstrates how his Romanticism informed all of his key theological positions, often in tension with the more established Rationalism of the time. In ejecting Irving from his pastorate, the Church of Scotland officials were rejecting his idealistic and Romantic view of Christianity. It was this same idealism, with reference to the charismata, that alienated Irving from a senior role in the nascent Catholic Apostolic Church.

Plenary Wrap-Up – May, 2011 the Following Is a Record of Proceedings

Plenary wrap-up – May, 2011 The following is a record of proceedings and discussions which took place at the Plenary Meeting of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference between May 6-12, 2011. The Mass of the Holy Spirit was concelebrated on Friday 6 May in the chapel of Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney at 7am. The President of Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, was the principal celebrant and preached the homily. The President welcomed the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Guiseppe Lazzarotto who was warmly greeted. As is customary for each Plenary, religious leaders from CRA (Catholic Religious Australia) were present as observers for all of the sessions. These leaders were Sr. Anne Derwin rsj (Sister of St Joseph); Fr Timothy Norton svd (Divine Word Missionary); and Sr Marie Duffy rsm (Sister of Mercy). In a particular moment, the Bishops remembered fondly but with deep sadness their brother Bishop Joseph Angelo Grech, who died suddenly late last year (28 December) of a blood disorder. His contribution to the life of the Australian Church was recognised, and the Bishops reflected on the difficulty of losing such a talented individual on many of their commissions. The following changes to Commissions were approved: Bishop Peter Elliott retire from the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life due to commitments to the Personal Ordinariate; Bishop Julian Porteous be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Mission and Faith Formation; Bishop Christopher Prowse be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life; Bishop Christopher Prowse

Saturday 29 September, 2012, Saint Mary of Victories Church. St Louis MO Public Lecture BENEDICT XVI AND THE LITURGY: VISION, TEACHING, ACTION Most Rev. Peter J. Elliott* In the dark years leading up to the Second World War, a German boy discovered the wondrous world of Catholic liturgy. Worshipping with his family in a Bavarian parish influenced by the Liturgical Movement, carefully following his people’s missal,1 Joseph Ratzinger is now Pope Benedict XVI. In his autobiography, Milestones, Memoirs 1927-1977, he expressed his life-long love of the liturgy. “Naturally the child I then was did not grasp every aspect of this, but I started down the road of the liturgy, and this became a continuous process of growth into a grand reality transcending all particular individuals and generations, a reality that became an occasion for me of ever-new amazement and discovery. The incredible reality of the Catholic liturgy has accompanied me through all phases of life, and so I shall have to speak of it time and again.” 2 1. HIS VISION The Hermeneutic of Continuity His life story helps us see why, both as cardinal and Pope, his vision of worship has been guided by the same principle that informs his theology within the ressourcement school of thought - the hermeneutic of continuity. The word “hermeneutic” means a way of interpreting something. The hermeneutic of continuity means that we should interpret the Second Vatican Council as part of the continuous growth of the living tradition of the Church, that is, only in continuity with all other Councils, not as a sharp break with the past.

The Epistle: October 2016

The Reception into Full Communion of St. Luke’s Parish October 9, 2011 St. Luke’s Ordinariate Parish Washington DC The Epistle “Tis Good, Lord, to be Here” We hope as many of our friends as possible will join us at our 8:30 am mass on Sunday, October 9th to help St. Luke's mark an important milestone in our history: it will be the fifth anniversary of St. Luke's reception into the Catholic Church. We aren't exaggerating when we say that this was a historic event. St. Luke's was the first Episcopal church to come into the Catholic Church under the provisions of then-Pope Benedict XVI's Anglicanorum Coetibus. Anglicanorum Coetibus was a 2009 apostolic constitution that allowed Episcopal parishes to be received into the Church, while retaining elements of Anglican tradition and liturgical practice. Father Mark Lewis, our pastor, doesn't hold back when it comes to the significance of the then-pope's action on behalf of Anglicans. “Every now and then, a momentous event takes place. Few if any since the Reformation have more significance than Anglicanorum Coetibus,” Father Mark once explained to a reporter. “Pope Benedict XVI, with one fell swoop of the pen, opened the door for whole groups of Volume 2, Issue 10 Anglicans to reunite with Holy Mother Church.” October 2016 And what are we doing to celebrate? We're marking the day in the most appropriate 2 manner possible: by welcoming more new Catholics into Holy Mother Church. Bishop Steven J. Lopes will confirm five adults at Mass that day.
Catholic Bioethics for a New Millennium

CATHOLIC BIOETHICS FOR A NEW MILLENNIUM Can the Hippocratic and Judeo-Christian traditions be synthesized with contemporary thought about practical reason, virtue and com- munity to provide real-life answers to the dilemmas of healthcare today? Bishop Anthony Fisher discusses conscience, relationships and law in relation to the modern-day controversies surround- ing stem cell research, abortion, transplants, artificial feeding and euthanasia, using case studies to offer insight and illumination. What emerges is a reason-based bioethics for the twenty-first cen- tury; a bioethics that treats faith and reason with equal seriousness, that shows the relevance of ancient wisdom to the complexities of modern healthcare scenarios and that offers new suggestions for social policy and regulation. Philosophical argument is comple- mented by Catholic theology and analysis of social and biomedical trends, to make this an auspicious example of a new generation of Catholic bioethical writing which has relevance for people of all faiths and none. anthony fisher is a Dominican friar and the Bishop of Parramatta, in Western Sydney. He is a Member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Professor of Moral Theology andB ioethics in the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and the Family, Melbourne, and Adjunct Professor of Bioethics in the University of Notre Dame, Sydney.
